Lyrics

The Memories

Stuck in a place, where I don't want to be
It's not the kind of place, that I can simply leave.
I've made of my mind, it's so hard to believe.
These changes change me, I just want some peace.

[Chorus]
I miss you but I can't touch-up the memories.
The beauty is the future and the mystery.
Fighting retrospect on all the times I thought were dreams.
I miss you but I'm restless down on weary knees

Holding myself, and I don't want to be.
But it's a grip I can't let myself release.
It's robbing my mind, and this time I believe.
These changes changed me now I've got my peace.
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I've made promises, to myself
That I will acknowledge this, through a time that's pale
And I make promises, before I sleep
That God will polish this, for me to keep.
[Chorus]

This song moves sprightly along like "Don't You Write Her Off" by McGuinn, Hillman, and Clarke; and you can tap your foot and drive down the highway to the tune because it's the melody and the tempo that is the strength of this tune. The vocals are a folky everyman, the instrumentation of guitars and drums are infectious. I almost don't care what the lyrics are because the tune moves so well. But you'll listen to it again to catch the lyrics. Tunes that begin with good melodies have a way of doing that.
